This training school will have a varied content suitable for novices and more experienced users (not limited to PhD students):
- principles of reflectometry, including polarised neutron reflectometry
- working principles of time-of-flight reflectometers (including a virtual guided tour)
- data reduction principles
- reflectivity fitting theory (model building approaches, fitting strategies etc)
- error analysis techniques for reflectivity data
- case studies for different science areas and using different fitting software
- live interactive demonstrations and exercises using online resources,
such as IDAaaS and Google Colab - live help and advice for users, who have already collected reflectivity data
